In addition to honoring Menzies, Meg’s Miles will raise awareness of drunk driving, texting and driving, and the general safety of runners and cyclists. As of Tuesday afternoon, over 7,500 people have pledged to run on Saturday, with one committing to do so in Afghanistan.

Run organizer Brooke Roney wrote on Facebook that she’d update the Meg’s Miles page if she learns of a specific meeting point for local runners.
